Never wash it in the dishwasher or let it soak in water.

Do hand wash it with warm water and dish soap, and dry immediately.

Apply a light coat of mineral oil, or cutting board oil, regularly. Let it soak in for a few hours or overnight, and then buff with a clean, dry cloth.

For a deeper cleaning, sprinkle coarse salt and rub with half a lemon. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, scrape off, and rinse with warm water. Dry immediately.

ENJOY FOR MANY YEARS!
